Hi all! (I think I have forgotten to post an introduction post, will do so momentarily, so this is my first post!)
Well actually there's still quite a lot to do with regards to making cider, my FV's have been sitting outside all winter and need cleaned, and one of them is currently storing a gallon of homemade laundry liquid....but anyhoo....
I'm hoping to make some Turbo Cider, I will probably just go for cheapy apple juice and see how it goes. One of my fermenting buckets is 2 gallons (10 litres or something?) so will start with that, I don't want to end up with 40 pints of dodgy cider (again). I have a few questions - should I add in roughly half the yeast, or measure it out to the gram to compensate for the smaller amount of juice? Secondly, in a plastic fermenting bucket, do I need to add half the juice, then top it up a few days later, as I have seen discussed on here? or is that just for demijohns?
Thanks for any advice, I'm looking forward to getting on here more :)
